Not only time... considering the 144+ megs of disk space at l-soft, costing you about 120FRN a month (if I remember correctly), who can blame you? And how many tens of megs in the CTRL archive have been squandered on off-topic crap as this? Odd how the most profound conspiracies posted to CTRL seem to "wither on the vine" so to speak, and seem to fade away with little or no comment, while the BS, non-conspiracy releted threads like "Jane Fonda Says Pro-Life People are Hypocrites", and other "Battling Bickersons BS", as you aptly call it, seem to run on forever. As far as the "Battling Bickersons BS" threads that seem to run on forever goes, IMO this re-post seems to sum it up well: -- Question: How many [CTRL] posts does it take to change a light bulb? Answer: 1,331: 1 to change the light bulb and to post to the mail list that the light bulb has been changed; 14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently; 7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs; 27 to point out spelling / grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs; 53 to flame the spell checkers; 156 to write to the list administrator complaining about the light bulb discussion and its inappropriateness to this mail list; 41 to correct spelling in the spelling/grammar flames; 109 to post that this list is not about light bulbs and to please take this email exchange to alt.lite.bulb; 203 to demand that cross posting to alt.grammar, alt.spelling and alt.punctuation about changing light bulbs be stopped; 111 to defend the posting to this list saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts _are_ relevant to this mail list; 306 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique, and what brands are faulty; 27 to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs; 14 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly, and to post corrected URLs; 3 to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this list which makes light bulbs relevant to this list; 33 to concatenate all posts to date, then quote them including all headers and footers, and then add "Me Too"; 12 to post to the list that they are unsubscribing because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy; 19 to quote the "Me Too's" to say, "Me Three"; 4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ; 1 to propose new alt.change.lite.bulb newsgroup; 47 to say this is just what alt.physic.cold_fusion was meant for, leave it here; and, 143 votes for alt.lite.bulb. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply. Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector. ======================================================================== Archives Available at: http://home.ease.lsoft.com/archives/CTRL.html <A HREF="http://home.ease.lsoft.com/archives/ctrl.html">Archives of [EMAIL PROTECTED]</A> http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ <A HREF="http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/">ctrl</A> ======================================================================== To subscribe to Conspiracy Theory Research List[CTRL] send email: SUBSCRIBE CTRL [to:] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To UNsubscribe to Conspiracy Theory Research List[CTRL] send email: SIGNOFF CTRL [to:] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Om
